How each fee is calculated

Roof replacement

Fee basis: Flat fee.

Project value on this row: low $8,000, typical $12,000, high $22,000.

City of Anaheim FY 2026-27 Building Services miscellaneous permit items, retrieved Sep 1, 2026. These totals are a City of Anaheim Planning Department, Building Division permit.

The city is the City of Anaheim, not LA City and not unincorporated Orange County. For a lightweight covering reroof, a permit is required.

The official path is a flat lightweight covering reroof without structural calc up to 3,000 sf. The official fee band is $375.00 / $375.00 / $375.00.

Typical project value on this row is $12,000. Assumed valuations are $8,000 low, $12,000 typical, and $22,000 high.

Walk the typical first. A lightweight covering reroof without structural calc up to 3,000 sf is $375.00 flat.

The extras line Re-roofing (lightweight w/o structural up to 3,000 sf) is $375.00, with note text FY 2026-27 proposed/current column. Included.

That $375.00 is already inside the $375.00 total and is not added on top. Low and high match that same $375.00 total because the path is flat, so the low fee is $375.00 and the high fee is $375.00.

The $375.00 high is the same total as the $375.00 typical and is not added on top of it. Documented 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,800 sf of roof surface does not change this flat $375.00.

A roof of 1,000 sf, a roof of 1,500 sf, and a roof of 1,800 sf each stay at or under 3,000 sf, so they do not change the flat $375.00 and the over-3,000-sf increment is not triggered. Roof area and job valuation are not inputs to this listed permit total.

Job valuation does not drive this fee. The assumed valuations of $8,000 and $12,000 and $22,000 still produce $375.00 on this flat lightweight re-roof path.

The tile-with-structural path is not used on this row. This note does not invent plan-review add-ons.

This note does not invent technology fees. This note does not invent a fee beyond the official $375.00 total.

Included. on that extras line means it is the same $375.00 total, so the page does not add it a second time. A like-for-like lightweight covering reroof in the City of Anaheim stays on this flat lightweight re-roof up to 3,000 sf.

City of Anaheim, not LA City. Lightweight covering reroof without structural calc. Tile-with-structural $519 path is not used.
